The T-Rex 2X Long MSTR Daily Target ETF (MSTU) plummeted 5.37% in pre-market trading on Monday, reflecting the heightened volatility associated with MicroStrategy's (MSTR) aggressive Bitcoin acquisitions.
MicroStrategy, a software company that has pivoted into a Bitcoin-holding entity, announced the purchase of an additional 15,400 bitcoins for approximately $1.5 billion last week. This latest acquisition brings MicroStrategy's total Bitcoin holdings to around 402,100 bitcoins, worth over $38 billion at current prices.
The company's relentless pursuit of Bitcoin has fueled concerns about the sustainability of its strategy and the potential risks associated with leveraged ETFs that track its stock. Funds like MSTU aim to provide double the daily return of MicroStrategy's shares, amplifying both gains and losses.
